O., March 20th, 1896. Dear Sir : ? - A Convention composed of delegates from the Southern States and Cities was held in Chicago in Febiuary to consider the advisability of holding an Exposition of Southern resources and products in that City this year, and to doviBo ways and means for covering the cost of such an exposition. The Con vention resolved without a dissenting voice that the Exposition should be held. The City of Chicago pledged itself to undertake the whole expense of organiz ing and maintaining the Exposition. The several Southern States under took, on their part, to provide tho ex hibits, and to pay the expense of collect ing, arranging and organizing their ex hibits. Whan the delegates from South Caro lina met in Chicago, it was deemed advisable that if the Legislature failed to make an appropriation to place before the world the products and resources of our various cotton and other industries at the Exposition in Chicago, a trial should be made to raise the necessary funds from other sources. The Legisla ture you are aware, did nothing for the end in view, and it now becomes my duty, by the authority of the Governor of the State, to invite you to attend a Convention to bo held at Spartanburg, on Wednesday evening, April 15th, 1806, for tne purpose of providing a plan by which an Exhibit of the industries of the State shall be made at Chicago. It is hardly necessary for me to place before you the imperative reasons why we of this State onould make the best exhibit. The great development of our Cotton Factories, the natural advantages wo have of climate, water power, and cotton raised around the Mills must invite the attention of capital, thereby making our State not only foremost in agriculture, but also in Cotton fabric industries. In no other way can our farmers he more judiciously helped than bv giving tbem a market, we might say, near to each and every farm, thereby linking together agriculture, manufactures and commerce. I request, therefore, that the Mayore and Intendants of the Cities and Towns in the State attend the Convention at Spartanburg, and appoint three dele gates from each of the Cities and Towns to represent .their several municipalities in this Convention, for tbe purpose of insuring an Exhibit by South Carolina at Chicago. I request that each of the Cotton manu facturing enterprises in the State ap point representatives to attend the Convention in Spartanburg. I also request that each of the Rail road companies doing business in the State will appoint a representative to attend the Convention. I shall be obliged if you will inform me at your earliest convenience the names of the delegates you have ap pointed in response to this address. LANFORD'S. Farmers have their work very well in hand.

V ? ' 1 ' " '? , I1 1 -, ?! I J-? J. A. MADDEN, EDITOR. The Teachers' Association Met 3 ist ult. with a large attend ance. Miss Perrin Farrow gave, in a very interesting manner, her meth od ot teaching history, and judging from the close attention given her by the teachers, her teaching mutt be interesting to her pupils. She further demonstrated that she was thoroughly posted. Prof. McElroy gave a most inter esting address on teaohing as a profession, and the imposition per petrated upon the profession by the makeshifts. It would have been profitable to the school system if all the school officers of the county could have been present and heard the address. The next meeting of the Associa tion will be held on Saturday, April i8th, at 11 a. m., at Laurens, in the Courthouse. The following is the programme: t Dr. J. R. Smith will address the Association on a subject of his own selection. Dr. J. J. Boozer on the impor tance of of teaching Physiology and Hygiene in the sohools, fol lowed by Miss Mary Osborn. Prof. H. Z. Nabors on the ad vantages of a Summer School for teachers, followed by Miss Bailie Watkins. Miss Clatie McDaniel on "Why should school trustees visit and take part in the deliberations of the Teachers' Association," followed by Trustee James C. Hill. It is hoped all the teachers and trustees of the county will attend the next meeting of the Associa tion. It will be decided at the next meeting of the Association whether or not we will have a Summer School. Tobacco and Etiquette, We, as teachers, should do all in our power to get our pupils to drop the filthy habit of using to bacco, but never force it, because we have heard the silver heads of our land say that it was a matter of impossibility to make a boy, with the habit firmly established, hon estly drop it. He will tell untruths about it, and even steal tobacco when he wouldn't anything else; and above all things let us teach them to honor, love and practice truth and honesty, for they are the most important things in the char acter of a true citizen. We should put the lad upon his honor and al low him to come on to school.? Teach him to use it with all polite ness possible. Do not allow him to use in the presence of the chil dren who has not taken up the habit. Do all in the power of a teacher to prevent further introduc tion of tobacco into the school. If we find the lad is not keeping the command concerning its use then bring in the punishment. Knowing, as we do, education to be the means in the future of our being able to keep our heads above the water, we should do all in our power to bring into school every child between six and twenty-one years of age, which would be a matter of impossibility if the boys of the teens were compelled to do away with tobacco. They would not enter school etiquette. I think etiquette drills should be given weekly in the schools from the fact that so little is being done in that line in so many homes of our pupils; so many of the children are ignor ant of the most common rules of etiquette. I hope the teachers will consider the matter, and some kind teacher or some friend of education will prepare an article containing a drill of etiquette suitable to our schools and present it through our column, or that the committe of the library will order a volume on etiquette, which will be unani mously adopted and practiced by the teachers. Della Anderson, Teacher of the Byrd School. What others Say. Tho manifestoes of Tillman and Irby respectively have created a quoer situation in Laurens county. The Laurensvill6 Herald, owned by Postmaster Crews, has been edited for years by his son, W. T. Crews. Young Crews has lately shown a decided preference for Tillman over Irby, and an approval so marked of tho former's political programme that his father, the postmaster?who not long ago had to step in and unsay what his son had Ma id In endorsement of Tilt man's senatorial attack on Cleve land?has been prompted to re-as sume the editorship of The Herald. Hesignali7.es his return to active journalism by denouncing Tin man's counsel as "perniciously bad" and by warmly commneding Irby's stand. Unless Tillman re cedes from his position, Postmaster Crows says, "he shall be reluctantly compelled to part company with him." In tho meantime it is an nounced that Crews, tho son, who is not a postmaster, is about to start a paper called the "Free Silver Democrat," backed by Senator Irby's enemies, and the natural in ference is drawn that it will sup port Tillman and fight Irby. Lau rens county this year, with Tillman against Irby and Crews flls against Crews pere, will be a mighty juicy sort of county to live In.?The State. Do you want to bo In II?
